What do you want from the car, what do you want it to do performance wise?
I've owned 8 Impreza STi's and one Clio 182 Sport to date. I would buy another Impreza tomorrow but never a Clio 182 again for numerous reasons.

Prolly biased but I'd go for the Impreza. As it's a weekend thing, it wouldn't feel as special if it was a Clio. Not to me anyway. Too much like a daily. And I personally wouldn't get as much satisfaction out of cleaning it, still a Clio at the end of the day!
No one can really decide but you though mate . Just to add to the mix, Scooby will sound better and more tuneable .

I had a Clio 200 Cup a little while back and used it as a daily. Was a great drivers car but I couldn't deal with this one time I was rinsed by a Mondeo Diesel estate on the M6 and I sold it soon after.
Get the Scooby, it is more of a pride and joy machine and something you feel more special in.

i have a 172 cup, bang for buck you cant beat em, for the money they cost to buy and run i cant think of an alternative, mines got bilstein coilovers on and the geometry has been set up, handles superbly, my daily drive on b roads leaves most things scratching there heads wondering why the 172bhp clio has just disappeared into the distance.
As you can tell i love my cup! cant wait to track it, these clio's do very well on track, oh and mines been as reliable as they come, as where my other clio's, ( mk1 1.8 16v & williams ) but when i can afford to run a nice modded blobeye i'll be buying one, if i could afford to keep the clio as a track toy and still get a scooby i would.
As a nice weekend toy i'd get a nice impreza, but don't rule out the clio for a cheap fun car, like i said for the money they are hard to beat i'd be getting a 172 cup and not a 182 cup if you go for a clio ( more special )

At least you made the right decision, just need to be a bit quicker next time to make sure you get it.

Ive always had a weekend fun car and it needs to do everything, be fast enough, handle well enough and have that special feeling when you drive it, bit like a motorbike for the road I reckon, and after god knows how many tuned clio 16v's s4's corrado vr6's etc i am am back in a classic impreza, they need sorting on the handling side but when you have a good one, well it's the only car I've ever just gone out for a Sunday drive in, but can't stop thinking of a 5.0 tvr Griffith though?!!

I currently own a Clio 182 and a UK Turbo Impreza. The Clio has the edge in the 'fun' factor as it feels like you are throwing a go kart around. However the Impreza corners quicker and pulls harder in every gear. I assume you won't be doing that many miles in the car therefore I'd go with the Impreza.
In saying that the 182 is a great car and I'll definitely own another. Very capable cars.

8K will get you a souped up type r or P1 with rebuilt engine , 6 speeder maybe sorted suspension etc, etc... If it aint your daily, classic would be as fun as a clio but with way more capabilities ... 400 bhp classic feels like rocketship , cant beat that feeling...

The Clio is a fun hatch with good handling and a nippy engine........but is just a FWD French hatchback at the end of the day. Not something I'd consider special enough to warrant being a weekend toy in my opinion....fun daily at best. Comparing it with an STI is just silly
